Organizations Busy
On Christmas Charity
While organizations of Brownsville have been busy with Christmas
plans for their own entertainment and benefit, they have not forgotten
that "Peace on earth, good will to men,” calls for a bit of Christmas
cheer for the unfortunates.
The American Legion auxiliary of the John Hanson Po6t No. 43 has
Just completed and sent away its an-,
nual Christmas contributions to the
William Beaumont hospital for dis
abled veterans at El. Paso. Six pac
kages were mailed, the quota for the
Brownsville unit of the auxiliary
system. In each package were a
fountain pen. pair of bedroom slip
pers. toilet articles, stationary, cigar
ettes and tobacco. Mrs. George Ham
ilton is president of the auxiliary,
and the packages were arranged un
der the direction of Mrs. R. C. Mor
ris. *
Twelve bushels of Valley grape
fruit have been s*nt by Brownsville
Magruder Ford chapter of U. D. C.
to the Confederate Veteran's home
in Austin. Some such donation is
also an annual custom with the U.
D. C chapter as a Christmas greet
ing for inmates of the home. Mrs.
C. W. Colgin is president of the lo
cal chapter.
Rebekahs and Odd Fellows of
Brownsville are joining with other
lodges of the Valley in sending a
car of mixed vegetables to the homes
maintained by the lodges. One car
goes to the Old People's home at
Ennis, and one to the orphans’ home
at Corsicana. The lodges will also
send a car of fruit to the homes af
ter Christmas is over.
Auxiliaries and missionary socie
ties of Brownsville churches are en
gaging in similar Christmas cheer
work.

Silhouette Is Not So Different
WELL-GROOMED HAND
A BEAUTY NECESSITY
Brittle Finger Nails a Serious Problem for Many
Women, Says Expert, Suggesting Daily Massage
and Careful Manicuring as a Solution.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
I’VE mentioned frequently in this column that emery boards are an
important part of every manicuring set. But I don’t believe
that I’*e ever told you bow important they are in carinjr for ex
vremeiy tmn, fine nails.
If the nails arc of medium cr heavy texture
an ordinary flexible steel file should be used for
shaping and its use should be followed by a light
smoothing over with an emery board. When the
nails are very thin, however, the heavier type
of file is too coarse unless it is manipulated with
a light and deft touch. A professional mani
curist has no difficulty in using the regular file
but for the average person with fine nails split
ting, uneven edges and bruising is apt to result
unless one is particularly careful. By using the
emery board, however, the nov.ee can gam satis
factory results.
Never file the nails just after washing the
hands because the soap and warm water soften
them, making the nails much harder to shape.
Select rather a time when the hands have been
out of water for several hours. Use the fine
side of the emery board just as you would an
StmW HU5WF5T0N
ordinary steel file. You will find that less breaking orr ana spn;ung
occurs after following this suggestion for several weeks.
Another splendid way to avoid breaking off nails of thin tex
ture is to file them every day. By doing this they don’t grow out
so long and so do not knock against
things and become bruised or broken.
Then. too. the fine nail can b®
protected by filing it a bit shorter
than Is customary for medium or
i heavy texture nails. It is well-known
that stronger nails remain free
frdm bruises under knocks that ab
solutely shatter more delicate nails.
A bit of olive oil massaged into
the nails and around the cuticle
each night will, after e short period
of time, strengthen and toughen
them without making them actually
heavier or coarser in texture.
If the nails are ridged and brittle
as well as thin, add six drops of
castor oil to one half ounce of cocoa
butter. Melt the cocoa butter, add
the castor oil. mix thoroughly and
then let cool. Just massage this into
the cuticle around the baae of the
rails each night, letting it remain on
until morning.
Nalls, like hair, thrive on excess
circulation ao that massage Is as
vital to the health and beauty of the
nails as it is to the hair.
To massage the nails, apply a
liberal amount of cuticle salve or the
preparation made from the formula
suggested above, to the nails and
cuticle. Then, rotate the cushion
part of the thumb over the nails of
the left hand, rotating it ten tiracvi
to the right and then ten time* to
the left on each nail. Then, use the
left thumb to massage the nails on
the right hand. When finished with
the massage pull the tips of the fa»
1 gers gently by placing the thumfc
and first finger of the right hand at
I the side of each finder on the lelt
hand, and then pull them firmly oet
to the tips of the fingers. Hope*’
with the other hand. This helps tt
encourage a tapering contour fe*
the fingers as well as to stlmulat*
circulation and improve the durabii
ity of fragile nails.

4 By LICY CLAIRE
Fashion Writer for Central Press
While the new silhouette is here,
.and here to stay with us for some
time, revolters to the contrary, it
is not being accepted in its most
exaggerated form by American wo
men. generally speaking. Criticism
of women's clothes is as old as the
Bible. No doubt even Mother Eve
was criticized for wearing her skirts
too short. There will always be this
criticism, this revolt, whenever a
new mode is introduced, because
the majority of those who have
not been to Parts, or seen the new
things in the smart shops, vizualize
the exaggeration. Skirts are longer, j
but not long, at least for daytime
wear. Lines are fitted, but not to
the squeezed-in figure of the naugh
ty nineties. There is a change, but
ir is not so great that It will make
us look ridiculous.
The normal waistline does not
mean something up under the arm
pits, any more than the longer skirt
does not mean five or six inches
from the ground. The normal waist
lines are still being posed on the
top of the hips while we are gett
ing ac ustomed to the raise. Our
sports clothes are still almost
straight lines, with skirt lengths
about four inches below the knee.
Afternoon frocks develop uneven
hemlines with long in back or front
or sides, or in points or scallops
all around. Not such a terrific dif
ference after all. Just a little great
er length, a little more fullness and
more molded lines.
Conservative Model
An example of one of the more
conservative afternoon frocks In
brown satin with eggshell trim is
shown at the left of the sketch. The
draping at the side and the swath
ed hip give the modish soft lines
that are in no way extreme. The
eggshell collar repeats the drape
on the skirt. Copper bronze kid
pumps and eggshell hose are worn
with this frock.
A frock or flat crepe in navy blue
has its waistline placed nearer nor
mal. yet does not look at all radi
cal. This is interpreted in a short
jacket, or eton effect, with a yoked
1 skirt which dips in the front. The
bodice has the effect of the tuck
in blouse. Navy blue kid shoes of
the one strap version accompany
this frock, which you will find
! sketched at the right.
In the center is a two-piece frock
of black satin, the blouse girdled
in shirrines, and elaborated with a
rose taffeta bow edged with chiffon.
Achieving
Beauty
BY MADAME RUBINSTEIN
Whenever I meet a woman for the
first time, whether professionally or
socially, I pay great attention to one
thing, and that Is her voice. If she
is a client, or if she asks my advice
in a voice that is raucous or harsh
or strident, I make a mental note
at once—for my beauty advice does
not stop at facts concerning creams
and powders.
A quality which I really admire
(Shakespeare makes mention of it
more than once) is “a low gentle
voice,” because it is “an excellent
thing in a woman.” My own ex
perience is. that of all the nations.'
the Englishwomans voice is the
most charming: some American wo
men are apt to forget the import
ance of voice culture. They allow
their emotions to run away with;
them, and one does often hear a
strident, or even k harsh. American
voice. An English voice is always
clear soft and pleasant. A womans!
voice whether of the low. sweet type,
the rich contralto kind, or the clear,
bell-like variety, should have a soft
pleasant tone, it should leave behind
with it6 hearer, something like a
pleasant memory.
Of course, a charming voice has
to be taken care of. The throat and
chest must be treated with a consi- j
derable amount of respect. Correct;
breathing is essential: the mouth
should always be kept closed, so that
all pernicious germs which affect
the throat should be excluded, and |
everybody ought to breath through J
the nose and not through the mouth.
Reasonable warmth is essential to
the throat and neck, but one should
not over coddle them or exclude
fresh air.
To cultivate a good speaking voice,
the correct pronunciation of words
must not be forgotten.
Much can be achieved in voice cul
tivation by clear enunciation and in
giving each syllable its due. Also,
take care that you do not allow your
voice to become monotonous.
